http://www.iipa.com INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ALLIANCE, 2001 SPECIAL 301 REPORT

In the area of intellectual property, Lithuanian policy has been to observe international standards and to consider subscribing to international conventions beyond those accepted by the Lithuanian Government before World War II. In 1990 Lithuania joined the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and signed the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. Pirated recordings and software, both widely available, are regularly confiscated and destroyed by the police. Although Lithuania has a good legal system for protecting Intellectual property rights, enforcement of the laws still remains a week point. In May 31, 2001 Lithuania became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
